"Starting with hrev45522, address space layout randomization (ASLR) and data execution prevention (DEP) are available in Haiku. These two features, which have actually become a standard in any modern OS, make it much harder to exploit any vulnerability that may be present in an application running on Haiku, thus generally improving system security."

Well then TFA should say that, as not all of us are programmers and a little info can make all the difference.

Heck i learned more from you and that guy that posted in the thread about how shoddy some of the code is in Haiku (which he says is thanks to the GSoC bringing in junior programmers) than I did in the article itself.
